I had 3. One was my laptop (with external keyboard), one was my son's and the other was my wife's desktop (with external kbd/mouse. One broke and the other two are parked away since years. The processing power is way too limited and the storage is awfully small. It was useable (but not exciting) when released, but newer stuff is more resource-greedy. At one debian upgrade I had to remove most package beforehand, and at the next step I gave up. My use is pretty basic, but a local "git clone" of a kernel tree, with external storage, took hours. Sure you can ssh elsewhere, but I we can do that with the phone (and an external keyboard). Any local use, besides running mutt and an editor, makes no sense on it nowadays. Even building firmware for microcontrollers is waaay too slow. /alessandro _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion This mailing list is covered by the FSFE's Code of Conduct.
